Mattermost versions 11.9.x <= 11.9.0, 11.8.x <= 11.8.4, 11.7.x <= 11.7.7, 10.11.x <= 10.11.22 fail to limit decompressed content size and enforce the configured maximum file size in the Boards archive import handler, which allows an authenticated user to cause memory exhaustion or unbounded disk consumption via a crafted .boardarchive file uploaded to the import endpoint.. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00713

AnalysisAI

Memory exhaustion and unbounded disk consumption in Mattermost's Boards archive import handler expose self-hosted deployments to authenticated denial-of-service. Affected versions span the 10.11.x, 11.7.x, 11.8.x, and 11.9.x release trains, all of which fail to enforce decompressed content size limits or respect the configured maximum file size when processing .boardarchive uploads. …
